Cage containing a biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic (Triosite) for the treatment of cervical spondylosis

A cage containing a biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic resulted in complete fusion by the sixth postoperative month, although the fusion rate was lower than that in a cage containing an autograft during the first 5 months after the operation and the time to fusion was delayed. Using a cage containing a biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic leads to a shorter hospital stay, less blood loss, shorter operative time, and no donor site complications. It seemed to be a good substitute for cervical spondylotic fusion.
